How to deliver OUTER JOURNEY?
AIESEC is not an exchange organization. We develop the kind of needed leadership through our exchange expriences. We intend to bring leadership to the problems in the world as oposed to resolve all the problems in the world.
(GIP + GCDP)
Our volunteering model allows us to create the kind of needed leadership through creating experiences for others.
(TMP + TLP)
Having this in mind, let's explore how can we turn the numbers we deliver not only into nice stories, but also into LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCES. We provide the leadersip needed by providing leadership journeys.
At the heart of this journey is an inner and outer journey. The inner journey describes how the leader learns through reflection, mentoring and practice.
The outer journey describes the crucible experiences in which leadership is forged and includes challenge, risk and working at the “edge of the system.
